AppLovin: EPS And Revenue Start Moving In Opposite Directions
APP
Published: June 18, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

AppLovin's growth story is fading, as the company reported a sequential decline in EPS in the latest quarter despite continued revenue growth. With the EPS growth momentum melting, various valuation approaches suggest the market is pricing in overly optimistic assumptions for AppLovin. Capital allocation strategy is also questionable, as increasing share buybacks amid high debt levels and a stagnant R&D budget falls short of industry best practices, which emphasize maximizing financial flexibility.

AppLovin: S&P 500 Game Changer This Friday
APP, IVV, SPLG, SPXL, SPY, SSO, UPRO, VOO
Published: June 05, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

I reiterate my 'Buy' rating on AppLovin, expecting S&P 500 inclusion to be a game-changing catalyst for the stock. Even without S&P inclusion, APP boasts phenomenal growth, strong Q1 FY2025 results (ads +81% YoY), and a smart divestiture of its Apps business to focus on high-margin ads. The company sees limited impact from potential tariffs and views lower app store fees as a tailwind, enabling customers to increase ad spend on its platform.

AppLovin: Nascent Advertising Opportunities Trigger Rich Growth Prospects - Wait For Dips
APP
Published: June 03, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

APP's pivot to e-commerce and web advertising segments has driven their renewed growth opportunities indeed, as observed in the accelerating top-line growth & richer profit margins. If anything, we expect the management to continue delivering high double digits growth ahead, as they launch the self-service advertising platform from Q2'25 onwards. On the other hand, despite the richer Free Cash Flow generation, APP has reported a rapidly deteriorating balance sheet attributed to the overly aggressive share retirement cadence.
